Physics

consider two cubes: a copper cube (Density = 8.96 g/cm^3) and alead cube (Density = 11.4 g/cm^3) that both have an edge length of3.0 cm.

1) which cube (if either) has the greater mass? How do youknow?

2) which cube (if either) displaces the more water when fullysubmerged? how do you know?

3) which cube (if either) experiences the buoyant force ofgreatest magnidude when fully submerged? How do you know?

4) calculate the magnitude of the buoyant force (in Newtons)acting on the copper cube and the lead cube when each is fullysubmerged in water. Show your work!

5) If either block is immersed only half-way into the water, howdoes the magnitude of the bouyant force in this case compare to thebuoyant force when that same block is fully submerged? Defend youranswer.

Plase show all work. Thank you so much.
